Awakening in Oblivion

The highest rule of this world, the Heavenly Dao, isn't a god. It's more like an electric current that keeps flowing forever, yet remains perpetually stuck. Cause and effect aren't as simple as "do something bad and you'll be punished." They're a circle that feeds on itself: the more you fight against fate, the more your resistance becomes a new cause, ultimately nourishing the very outcome you least want. So the truly formidable aren't people who "remember everything," but people who "can keep moving forward even after forgetting a great deal."

The story unfolds in four stages: born carrying pain → living absurdly and without meaning → suddenly awakening through forgetting → taking charge and returning to the end.

If you want to grow up, you must experience pain and forgetfulness. If you want to live with clear eyes, you must bear loneliness. The protagonist is born a "blood infant," cut from his mother's womb with a knife. He is trapped forever in a cycle with no escape. Only when he understands that "rather than fighting desperately to live, it's better to face death calmly" does he truly awaken. In the end, he stops waiting for anyone to save him and chooses to go home on his own.
